Unsheathed
~ The Apprentice Ceremony
Leader: [insert mentor's name here], you are now ready to take on an apprentice. You will be mentor to [insert apprentice's name here]. [insert mentor's name here], you have shown yourself to be a warrior of [insert vitue #1 here] and [insert virtue #2 here]. I'm sure you will pass on all you know to this apprentice.
The new mentor and apprentice touch noses, and they both go to the side of the clearing.
~ The Warrior Ceremony
Leader: I, [insert leader's name here], call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He/She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn. [insert warrior-to-be's name here], do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?
Warrior-To-Be: I do.
Leader: Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. [insert warrior-to-be's name here], from this moment you will be known as [insert warrior-to-be's new name here]. StarClan honors your [insert virtue #1 here] and your [insert virtue #2 here], and we welcome you as a full warrior of [insert Clan here].
The leader rests his/her muzzle on the top of the new warrior's head and the new warrior licks his/her shoulder in respect. The rest of the Clan chant the new warrior's new name.
~ The Medicine Cat Ceremony
Medicine Cat: I, [insert medicine cat's name here], medicine cat of [insert Clan here], call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He/She has trained hard to understand the ways of a medicine cat, and with your help he/she will serve his/her Clan for many moons. [insert medicine-cat-to-be's name here], do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from rivalry between Clan and Clan an to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your life?
Medicine-Cat-To-Be: I do.
Medicine Cat: Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your true name as a medicine cat. [insert medicine-cat-to-be's name here], from this moment you will be known as [insert medicine-cat-to-be's new name here]. StarClan honors your [insert virtue #1 here] and your [insert virtue #2 here], and we welcome you as a full medicine cat.
The medicine cat rests his/her muzzle on the top of the new medicine cat's head and the new medicine cat licks his/her shoulder in respect. The other medicine cats chant the new medicine cat's new name.
~ The Names
The first rule for a made-up Clan name is...be creative! You have no idea how many FireClans, RainClans, TreeClans, SkyClans, LightClans, DarkClans and MountainClans I've seen. (And more, I just can't remember them all). When creating a Clan name, try to pick something original; something that others wouldn't generally think of. And try to be logical! I've also seen a ton of WolfClans, BearClans etc. Somehow I don't think the cats would want to honor their predators...then again, maybe they would because LionClan, TigerClan and LeopardClan exist -- or existed -- in the books.
Try to base your Clan name on smaller things...streams, creeks, leaves, ponds, swamps, etc. If you can, narrow it down even from there!
~ The Territory
Okay, this is the part that usually drives me insane, other than seeing the same Clan names used over and over again by different people. BE LOGICAL. Nearly all the FireClans I've seen take place on volcanos, or volcanic ground...and that makes no sense whatsoever, seeing as how fire and lava are two utterly different things. Lava is made of molten rock. There's nothing firey about it at all, except possibly for the heat levels. And even then.
If you have a FireClan, try to make it's territory somewhere where a fire might actually occur...or where the name actually fits. I can't really say where LightClans, DarkClans, EvilClans, GoodClans, MoonClans, SunClans and all of those should go. I suppose for those ones you can make up just about anything.
Other than that, people are usually pretty good at making up territories. They also tend to replace the Clans in existence...WindClan tends to become AirClan or SkyClan, ThunderClan tends to become LighteningClan, TreeClan or ForestClan, RiverClan tends to become WaterClan, StreamClan, OceanClan etc and ShadowClan tends to become DarkClan, EvilClan, MarshClan etc. And StarClan? People don't tend to replace that. I don't know why...
The last thing there is is that you can make as many rp cats as you like as long as you rp as them!
Note: all of these are property from starclan secrets. and i take no amount of gratitude in posting them!! those along with the avatars... and just about the plans for all of this comes from them... so thank you sandstar!!!
